Hospitality Students Excel in Privacy Trainin...
Last week, our Hospitality students focused on respecting guests' privacy.
Last week, Jeanne and Rebecca were deep in shoulder-height fynbos at Flower Valley Farm, marking our permanent vegetation plots. These plots are essential for counting and monitoring plant species, helping us track vegetation health across different landscapes. While working, we were fortunate to spot some significant plants that highlight the beauty and importance of fynbos.
• Gladiolus rudis: This classic beauty was captured on the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy. Immersed in fynbos, we truly appreciate the elegance of species like this.
• Aristea teretifolia: A species of conservation concern, Aristea teretifolia showcases stunning floral symmetry. We even caught a hoverfly (Syrphidae) paying it a visit!
• Pink Lachenalia variegata: Spotted by our alien vegetation manager at Wolwefontein, this vibrant pink Lachenalia variegata is truly dressed to impress!
Monitoring and protecting these precious species are key to conserving the biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
